Question Regarding XI

Former Member

Hi Everyone

I have a questions regarding XI.

If I distribute a file or an IDoc form XI to a source system and the network drops, for some or other reason, during the distribution will XI know which content have been distributed and when the network is back online will it distribute the rest of the content? Or will XI redistribute the entire file/IDoc?

Thanks in advance

Hi

All SAP communications are transactional, so if communication fails then it rolls back the system.

But if it is facing any problem while communication either due to network failure or any other reason then XI will wait for the time that is mentioned in Timeout Parameter of that particular adapter. If network get up within this period then XI will successful complete the communication otherwise it will fail with error and system rolls back.

Regards

Sami

HI,

XI uses the Transport Protocalls to transport the data across the Network.

Depending on the protocol used, all data (including passwords) is usually transmitted through the network (intranet or Internet) in plain text. To maintain the confidentiality of this data, you should apply transport-layer encryption for both internal communication and message exchange.

Even though the connections are failed, XI have provided the facility to re-process the Messages

Refre ---/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/11/29/xi-how-to-re-process-failed-xi-messages-automatically

XI processes the messages in XML format. In XI all the massages are archived, so there is no chance to loss any data.

Its a kind of Message queue, If the connection is failed then either whole data will be transfer or nothing will be processed.

Hello ,

In XI even the transmission is thru the Messages in Queue*(first in first out)...But the entire message will be wrapped in a XML format...So If there is Network problem...Data will not be lost and will not resume . The entire XML will move to the target or transmission will be restarted...But not it will go in packets.

hi

i think it depends upon the types of ports and queues which we are using ,whether to disrtibute the content when the connection has break down and re-established.....

any way take a look on trouble shooting guide:
